Hi all,

This is probably an easy one, but I can't for the life of me find the answer.

In the Tripane skin you could specify what you wanted to appear in the browser tab for the compiled HTML5 output. But I can't find an equivalent setting in the Side Nav skin. It seems to be defaulting to whatever ...

Thanks Casey.

I heard back from support overnight that 2019 wasn't supported (as you said). So I downloaded FM2017 and was still unable to import UNTIL I opened both apps in Administrator mode (right-click each App icon and choose Run as Administrator). Then it worked perfectly.

To save having to ...

I have just encountered this error using FM 2019 and Flare 2018R2. Did anyone get a resolution?

Thanks Dave. You've confirmed what I suspected.

Louise.

Thanks Dave. I am using a different master page for the home page. Its the skin toolbar that I wanted to hide on the home page.

Ideally the home page would be quite different to the topic pages, hence the different master page. With this page being quite different, the skin toolbar doesn't really ...

The subject says it all. I am using a Tripane skin and want to have toolbar icons on my topic pages but not my home page.

Is there an easy way to do that?

Thanks, Louise.

Hi all,

I am building HTML5 help for a product that has a lot of documentation (over 200 guides). The content is produced in 2 different locations (India and Australia), but all the production is being done on the one machine. The method I am using is to merge the projects at run time, using a ...

Hi all,

I am wondering whether there is a way to make a heading appear in the bookmarks pane but not in the Table of contents for the PDF.
For example, the heading Contents - I want that to appear in the bookmarks pane so that people can navigate easily back to the PDF's Table of contents, but ...

Just reading through this topic in the hope of finding a resolution to an issue I'm having with HMTL5 output.

I have used @font-face, but the fonts still aren't displaying in the output. So after some digging I noticed that the fonts folder (which is located in the stylesheets folder in the content ...

Hi all.

I'm very new to Mimic, so apologies in advance if this is a completely incorrect assumption of what Mimic can do.

Here's what I'm trying to do. It relates to training modules I've been asked to create. Create a mimic movie that has 4 different frame types. An example of one frame type ...

Hi all,

Hoping someone can shed some light on this as I'm out of ideas.

I have around 700 identifiers in my project, with one Alias file and multiple header files.

In the Alias editor I have linked all the identifiers to topics, which seemingly has worked because all the icons next to the ...

Hi David,

An update on this. If I publish to a web server and use the URL for the 'default page' of the tripane output (which is also contained on the same web server, though maybe this doesn't need to be the case), it works.

Still no joy on a local file server though.

As for searching across ...

Thanks David. I tried copying your exact syntax and it still didn't work. The first time I clicked the link it took a while thinking about it which gave me initial hope, but then failed with the same error (File not found).

I'd be very interested to hear if you manage to get the link working on the ...

Dave,

I am linking to default.htm on my local machine. I've tried using the output folder and another newly created folder on my c drive - neither worked.

Louise.

Hi David,

This looked like the answer to something I am trying to do with my docset so I tried it but can't get the link to work.

I did as roboHal suggested and pasted the path to the default.htm file for my tripane output, but when I click on the link from my TOP NAV output, it says the "File was ...

An update on this.

By adding a value to the mc-lavel (unclassified) style of Related topics, I was able to get the heading to appear, but it is appearing in a strange position. On no topics does it appear at the top (where I actually want it to appear), but it varies in position from topic to topic ...

Hi all,

I have a lot of relationship tables that were imported as part of our content migration from DITA to Flare. In my Master page I have added a Relationships proxy so that where one of the table is applicable to a topic, the related content links appear. All good.

My problem is that the ...

Aha - maybe that is it. I am the only one on 2017 so I'll get the others to upgrade and see if that fixes it. Thanks!

Hi guys,

Related to this I am seeing some strange behaviour re the TOC entries. I can see the TOC entries just fine but others in my team only see [%=System.LinkedTitle%].

Is there something extra we need to do so that everyone in the team sees the topic titles in the TOC?

Louise.

Thanks for the suggestion Steve. I had actually tried importing it from the global project and that didn't work either.

I did get help from Support overnight and we've resolved the problem. The XML editor will always use the stylesheet specified in the master target. I have several targets and had ...

I have 2 projects that both use the same stylesheet. The stylesheet is stored in a 3rd (global) project that is linked to the 2 projects.

I've just created a new stylesheet that I am trying to apply at the project level, but when I open the topics in Flare, they are still using the old stylesheet ...

A little bit removed from the original posting thread, but I am wondering how to resolve a problem I am having with snippet formatting.

I have a snippet that contains 4 product names, each one with a condition attached so that the correct product name appears in the relevant output. When I build my ...

Awesome, thanks Dave.

We have created a hierarchy of folders for our topics, so the Quick Launch method certainly seems quicker, but its good to know about both.

Cheers, Louise.

Hi all,

I'm fairly new so am really hoping I just haven't stumbled across how to do this yet...

I want to be able to search for a topic in my project but can't find a way to do it. My project has over 5000 topics, so as you can imagine its pretty tedious having to browse through folders to find a ...
